Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Gilbert is a dedicated young man who was reunified with his biological mother after being in the foster care system. This reunion has helped him rebuild family connections and create a stable foundation for his future. He is currently interning with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), gaining valuable experience in the system that once supported him. Gilbert is focused on his goals, committed to personal growth, and motivated to make a difference, reflecting his determination to build a meaningful future.

Gilbert would greatly benefit from having an iPad to support his work and daily responsibilities. While he currently uses his laptop at home, an iPad would allow him to stay productive while on the go. It is lightweight, easy to carry, and ideal for tasks such as checking emails, taking notes, attending virtual meetings, and managing his schedule. As he continues to build his skills through work and training, having a portable device would help him stay organized and connected. An iPad would provide Gilbert with the flexibility he needs to remain efficient, focused, and prepared as he works toward his personal and professional goals.
